Six months have passed since the
brutal attack by Hamas in
southern Israel. Since then,
more than 130 hostages remain kidnapped
in some corner of the Gaza Strip. Of that total,
eight are Argentinian and their relatives continue to ask for their early freedom
.
This Monday, family, friends, volunteers and institutions will meet at 6 p.m. at the Centennial Park mast, “to demand the release of the 134 people who remain kidnapped in Gaza” since October 7. The call is made under the word "Hineni" ("Here I am" in Hebrew).
In addition to the words of the relatives,
a minute of silence will be held in memory of the victims
and an installation will be made that will consist of the assembly of two posters, identical to those used with the photos of the kidnapped people, but in real size. and with a mirror in the place of the photo with the legend “it could have been you”, to call for the reflection of those who attend the activity, which is accompanied and supported by the institutions of the Jewish community, or pass by the place .
Who are the kidnapped Argentines?
The best known are the baby Kfir Bibas (1), his brother Ariel Bibas (4) and his mother Shiri Silberman Bibas (35). The kidnapping of the family went around the world with the video that Hamas released when they were taken from the Kibbutz of Nir Oz. The terrorist group claimed to have killed them as a result of an Israeli bombing, however the Israeli Government
never confirmed that version
